This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Zhou Li, who was summoned to the imperial court late at night, knelt down and apologized after learning that someone in the cold palace had been assassinated.
Murong Qingli did not convict him directly, but gave him one day to catch the assassin.
The entire palace had already been blocked off.
The Royal Guards were looking for information about the assassin.
Even the wolves that were carried into Simuqiao's house were not idle.
After Si Muqiao found someone to feed them, he gave the order.
Let them follow the Royal Guards to search for people.
Because she saw a strange man's shoe that was bitten into pieces in the house.
The material of the shoes looked very ordinary, indeed the kind worn by eunuchs in the palace.
So Si Muqiao could easily guess that the eunuch who came to assassinate her was targeting her from the beginning.
It was just by chance that she happened to meet the wolf that An Yi had placed in her house.
When he was fleeing, he happened to run into Tangyuan's room and was bumped into by Tangyuan...
Thinking of this, Si Muqiao had to say that she really doubted the assassin's IQ.
If she were the assassin, she would definitely take the opportunity to stab to death all thirty wolves in the iron cage.
To prevent future troubles.
Of course, Simuqiao was happy to see the assassin being so stupid!
After she checked Tangyuan and made sure that she didn't have any serious problems, she finally felt relieved.
She asked Yu Wenwuli and the others to take care of Tangyuan while she went back to the house and waited patiently.
Murong Qingli in the room was also very busy.
He planned to take this opportunity to rectify the court, kill treacherous officials, and support talented people.
This night is destined to be a bloody night.
Murong Qingli, who had spent less than an hour arranging things, was now sitting at the table, continuing to review the memorials diligently.
The night pearl on the side illuminates the study room very brightly.
Si Muqiao glanced at Murong Qingli who was busy, and felt that he was even more handsome as he worked hard.
With an inadvertent glance, she saw the contents of the memorial that Murong Qingli was reviewing.
This memorial is about the follow-up of Guozhou.
The disaster in Guozhou has passed, but post-disaster reconstruction is still going on.
Fu Guozhong, the Tongpan who had been devoted to serving the people, was promoted to the local prefect as an exception.
Fan Yisheng, the Tongzhi of Guozhou, remained in his original position without being promoted or demoted.
In addition, several upright and kind-hearted officials were also promoted to become the prefect's right-hand men.
Due to the disaster, Guozhou was exempted from tax for two years.
While ensuring that the people had enough food and clothing, Fu Guozhong began to hire people to build water conservancy projects.
This will prevent the next drought and flood.
As for those who build water conservancy projects, they naturally employ local people.
In addition, the memorial also said that Fu Guozhong’s eldest son Fu Ming had returned from the countryside in Jiangnan after completing his studies.
Now he has contracted a large piece of land and is obsessed with studying how to increase grain production.
How to increase food production?
Si Muqiao's heart moved.
She walked silently to the table beside her, sat down, and took out a pen and paper.
I wrote down all the content about hybrid rice and increased wheat yield that I had memorized before.
In addition, there are some about the improvement of agricultural tools, fertilizer configuration, fruit grafting, etc.
She wrote down everything she had learned before.
After she finished writing, she realized the problem.
[Ahhh, I am speechless. Who should I give this to? ]
[Give it to the dog tyrant? No way! ]
[What if he asks me where this thing came from, how should I explain it? ]
【To Fu Guozhong's son? 】
[Ah, that won’t work. It’s too far away. It’s hard to send it there, and it’s hard to check the follow-up results.]
[Or, just give it to Xiao Luzi who is good at farming. ]
[Once he can really develop hybrid rice and increase wheat yield according to the method I gave him.]
[When the time comes, he will tell the Dog Tyrant the specific operation method.]
[There are pictures and the truth, and the dog tyrant will definitely find ways to promote it nationwide. 】
[In that case, everyone won't be short of food, right? ]
[Well, it’s a happy decision! ]
"..."Murong Qingli heard her thoughts throughout the whole process.
I don't know why, but I feel very complicated.
He also didn't expect that the Simians would come up with methods of hybrid rice and increasing wheat yields so easily.
Moreover, he also planned to use the eunuch Xiao Luzi to give it out for free.
I'm afraid most officials in the court can't reach this level of mind.
At this moment, Murong Qingli could already believe 100% in the loyalty of the Si family.
If the Si family really wanted to rebel, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops under General Si's command.
Simian alone could kill him eight or ten times.
I believe that the cannons and mines seen in the movie can be bought as long as Simian is willing.
If she really wanted to cause trouble, she would have secretly bought a lot of lethal weapons and blow up the palace.
But not only did she not think so, she was also considering the food and clothing of the people of the world.
This kind of heart is really rare.
No, he has to find an opportunity to help Si Meiren improve her status.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou is here." Guo Fu's voice rang out from outside.
"Let him in!"
"yes."
"Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you, and Lady Si." Zhou Li, dressed in official uniform, saluted to the two of them.
"What? Got a clue?"
"Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught."
"Caught? Where?"
"He's outside, but... the assassin is dead." Zhou Li reported with his head down.
"Bring the person in, and then go call Tang Yuan over to identify the body."
"yes."
After a while, Tang Yuan, accompanied by Yu Wen and Shu Xue, came into the house to identify the body.
After only one glance, Tang Yuan said with certainty: "It is him. I remember his outline."
"Well, you go down first."
Murong Qingli spoke only after Tangyuan and the others left.
"What happened? Tell me in detail."
"yes."
"The first to find the assassin's location were the wolves sent by Simi."
"It brought my humble servants to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace..."
After listening to Zhou Li's description, Simuqiao finally understood what was going on.
Her wolf led Zhou Li's men to the gate of Cining Palace.
Zhou Li and the others were hesitating whether to go in or not, when they heard the sound of catching an assassin coming from the Cining Palace.
They rushed in without hesitation.
After entering, I found that the assassin in eunuch's clothes had been executed.
In addition, a total of three palace maids and eunuchs were injured in the Cining Palace.
Even the empress dowager, who was concentrating on worshiping Buddha, was frightened.
As for the identity of this eunuch assassin, it is said that his name is Zhang San, and he is a eunuch who has been selected to enter the palace less than a year ago.
They are still investigating the specific person behind the scenes.
Si Muqiao was quite confused about this result.
An assassin who came to kill her also went to kill the Queen Mother?
Why?
Since he couldn't figure it out, Si Muqiao stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, Murong Qingli is investigating the matter, so she just has to wait for the result.
The assassin was caught and died, so Simuqiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to go to bed early and have a good beauty sleep.
When she wakes up tomorrow, she will have to prepare to entertain the Empress Dowager.
However, just as she was about to leave, she heard Zhou Li calling her.
"Miss Si, please stay. I wonder..."
